[b]Location:[/b] Beryl Town
[b]Interacting with:[/b] Vinny (played by [@GubGar])[/center]

Cassandra’s composure did not drop as the man in front of her cheered silently, as if he had scored a point in a game.  The man’s antics were…peculiar, but not too surprising given his…eccentric appearance. Cassandra deemed the man to be a colorful individual, to put it mildly.

[quote][color=ed1c24][b]"Of course, absolutely! Those are more than fair terms. The Crown's no gossip rag, we're only in it for real stories."[/b][/color][/quote]

[i]‘That’s what they all say.’[/i] Cassandra coldly thought to herself. In a series of flashes, old, painful memories began to race through her mind. But despite that, she kept her composure and allowed the interview to continue. She calmly waited for the man to prepare himself as the interview got started.

[quote][b][color=ed1c24]"Then since you've so generously agreed to give me some of your time, I'll make sure not to waste it.."[/color][/b]
[b][color=ed1c24]"Morpheus' Dreamlink technology has been very successful.. But even the most successful companies don't throw around 'investments' as generous as the ones you have today. What is it about this League Season that's different? Is your company on the verge of a massive financial boom. Or has this season caught your eye in some way?"[/color][/b][/quote]

It was an interesting starting question, but not an usual one given the strict topic limitations. There was no recording device seen on the man, so Cassandra made sure to speak clearly as possible, and with reasonable speed.

[color=BA55D3]“Truthfully, this League Season is not particularly any more special or different than the others.”[/color] Cassandra answered, carefully choosing her words as she spoke. [color=BA55D3]“It is true that Morpheus has been doing very well financially, and the Dreamlink technology has been quite successful. It is through that success we can be here today and invest in the people here.[/color]

[color=BA55D3]“It is also true,”[/color] Cassandra continued. [color=BA55D3]“That this investment is quite a hefty one and I have my doubts we will be able to do it again so generously in the near future. We will more than likely have to make some amendments to our budget, but I wanted to make sure our first investment was not a shallow one.

“And while not our main priority for this investment, we at Morpheus do have high hopes for this year’s League Season. We would love to see one of the trainers we helped sponsor be able to finally beat the Starry Prince. Our company would be more than proud to help cultivate something as monumental as that.”[/color] Cassandra said, satisfied with her answer. While she thought the bit of mentioning the Prince would provide a good enough distraction and flair for the interview, she hoped that the reporter wouldn't push it too far. Cassandra then patiently waited for the man’s response.
